My mom is 52 and both lobes of her thyroid are enlarged, extending into the supraclavicular space with possible retrosternal extension on the left side. The right lobe measures 4.6x1.8x1.5 cm and the left is 6.1x4.2x4.0 cm. The largest nodule is 1.7x1.5 cm in the right lobe and 3.0x2.5 cm in the left. Can this be treated with medicines or does she need surgery?

surgery opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm 19 and 5'5 is there any way I can still grow taller even a little without surgery? I don't mind if it's tough or takes time, I just want to know if it's possible at my age

While significant height increase after 19 is unlikely due to growth plate closure, some strategies can help you appear taller and potentially gain a small amount of height. Focusing on posture, diet, and exercise can contribute to overall well-being and potentially maximize your height potential.
